Keeper's Krew Productions

Keeper's Krew Productions is the umbrella name I, Opalin Hubay Pickens, use for all of my creative endeavors, whether those endeavors be commercial, non-commercial, or personal.

The seeds for Keeper's Krew Productions were sown sometime around 1996/1997, but it wasn't fully conceived as Keeper's Krew Productions until 2001. The inspiration for the name came about when my then-very-new boyfriend, Doug Glendower, regaled me with the story of how he had conceived of Cavalier Cavalry Productions, and in a flash, the name of Keeper's Krew Productions zipped through my mind. And that was how it came to be.

I've actually had a few versions of The Keeper's Realm on a couple of sites that offered free hosting, but due to being a full-time college student, they really didn't go anywhere. Several years back, Doug had decided to pay for his own domain name. Because we'd talked about a collaboration of projects and partnership between Cavalier Cavalry Productions and Keeper's Krew Productions, his offering me space within his own space made a whole lot of sense. Unfortunately, I was still weighed down with the demands of being a student, so I couldn't really do much with that offer.

I tried to make a go of keeping up with my website a few times after my time as a student, but due to mental health issues, this had proven rather difficult. Now, years later, on December 25, 2024, having recovered enough from my mental health issues to obtain a job and income of my own, I’ve returned to once again try to make a go of running and maintaining my site. Only this time, I’ve doubled down: I purchased a domain name of my very own, and I finally, finally managed to finish making the basic version of a game that’s been in development since 2008. I’m hoping that these two circumstances will help me to keep up with my website. But only time will tell, as the saying goes!
